ABOUT US

The historic building at 52 Broadway Street that houses Elevation Lofts was originally built over 100 years ago, during a decade of rapid growth in Asheville that saw the rise of the Jackson Building, the Flatiron Building, and the Grove Arcade. It has been a downtown fixture on Broadway Street since 1923, as the character of its neighborhood changed from industrial (and even “red light” on nearby blocks) to commercial to mixed use with retail, restaurant and bar, and residential.

Before its latest extensive renovation was completed , it had a wide range of uses over the last century as a car dealership (Asheville Motor Co.), refrigerated space for a local farming co-op, a local armory, retail and antique stores, and apartment space.

The historic character of the building is most evident on the higher floors, with exposed original brick, soaring ceilings up to original beams and rafters, windows overlooking other historic downtown buildings, and mezzanine levels that capitalize on natural light from rooftop windows.
